For far too long, we have been the digital serfs on the castles built by corporate platforms that view our data as a cash crop. They control the narrative, silence any dissenting voice, and make billions off of our eyeballs. This has to change. With Farcaster’s Snapchain, it’s the first...
Web3 has promised us a decentralized future but who actually has their hands on the digital magic levers of innovation? Are we really creating a new world, or just crudely recreating the old power structures with a shiny blockchain veneer? The good news is that the answer, quite frankly, is...
Is Bybit rugging, or simply re-furnishing? So the shuttering of their Web3 initiatives – Cloud Wallet, NFT Marketplace, DEX Pro, the entire kit and caboodle – hurts. This hurts, and it’s most painful for the employees who were sold on Bybit’s Web3 vision. Countless others built their projects and livelihoods...
It wasn’t supposed to be this. We all knew friends or family members who had tried something out with crypto, we all dreamed of that decentralized future, that people’s financial system. Somewhere along the line, the focus shifted. Price charts replaced principles. Speculation overshadowed substance. What if I told you...

I’ve experienced first-hand how punitive tariffs can devastate communities. Do you recall John, the owner of that small manufacturing plant just outside Toledo, Ohio? He was just getting by before the trade wars, then BAM! Steel prices shot through the roof, orders vanished, and he was suddenly in a situation...
Ouch. Fwwwwwwup That’s the sound I envision reverberating in the wallets of millions of disappointed Pi Network users at the moment. To see PI drop down to that low $0.61-$0.64 range – a 17% decrease – is painful. You dumped your time, your hopes and dreams, and maybe even a...
The PAWS airdrop. Ugh. It should have been a party, victory lap, and prize all rolled into one for a bunch of early adopters. Rather, it became a case study in everything that can go awry when ambition gets ahead of execution. Wrong amounts, absent tokens, EEA exclusions… it was...
Let's be blunt: the gaming industry has become a bit of a walled garden. For too long, a handful of massive studios have dictated what we play, how we play, and even who gets to create. You, me, that kid down the street with the killer game idea – we’ve...

The problem with DAOs is, at least so far, they’ve been overhyped as a revolution – a return of power from the few to the many. Revolutions, like AI, are rarely predictable. Treasure DAO’s pivot to AI is thrilling, but a little scary. These new AI agents, marketplaces, and simulated...
